Russia, regime still violating Syria truce: Local sources

ANKARA /

Turkish military sources on Monday said that its military struck a number of Daesh targets in northern Syria on Sunday, reports Anadolu.

Around 40 Howitzer rounds were fired on 10 Daesh targets north of Aleppo, the source said, adding that targets included bases, weaponry and truck-mounted rocket launchers.

The international anti-Daesh coalition was informed about the strikes in advance, it added.

The Agency also reported that Regime forces backed by Russian airpower have continued to strike opposition positions in Syria despite a cessation of hostilities agreement — unveiled last week by Moscow and Washington — that went into effect midnight Friday.

Over the last three days, Russian warplanes have targeted villages in the west central Hama province and the northwestern Aleppo province, according to local sources.

At least 12 civilians were killed and 12 others injured Sunday by Russian airstrikes carried out in northern and western Aleppo and southern Hama — all regions held by the Free Syrian Army.
